五、家庭作业量与睡眠管理
教育部正在制定作业管理办法，初中生每天作业量平均不超过90分钟。对初中生来说，适当的课后作业是对所学知识的巩固和深化。优质高效地完成作业还可以培养学生良好的学习习惯和独立思考的能力。与同学一起调查，小组讨论或参加社会实践活动，有利于学生创新能力培养和综合素养提升。英文杂志正发起作业意见的征文, 请你谈谈对作业的认识，讲述一次你觉得有意义的作业体验，以及它对你的影响或启示。
【范文】
Whether homework is an angle or a devil, it depends on what you will get from it. As for me, homework is a helpful friend that can guide me to study efficiently. It can not only help us review what we have learned, but also give us a chance to think about the knowledge and their connections.
What impressed me most is a survey about lucky money. I interviewed my classmates online about how they spent their lucky money. I found half of my classmates used it to buy books or gave away to the poor children while some of them bought snacks or played online games. From then on, I learned to make good use of my lucky money.
As a student, I love the homework which can help us find out the problems and solutions by ourselves instead of copying or repeating something boring. We also need to discuss in groups and work together.

【范文】
Nowadays, many people prefer ordering food online. Some people think it’s good to order food online. It is more convenient and faster than we cook at home, so we can save much time to do other things. Besides, there are many kinds of take-away food and most of them are delicious. What’s more, ordering food online can reduce going out and avoid risks.
However, other people hold a different opinion. They say some restaurants may have food safety problems and plastic packages are bad for our environment and health. In addition, this kind of eating habit is unhealthy.
In my opinion, we can order food online sometimes, but for the sake of our health, we’d better cook it by ourselves.
七、保护视力

You know, the light they give off is harmful to our eyes. Besides, doing eye exercises plays an important role in relaxing my tired eyes. Lastly, I usually have my eyes examined every term to make sure my eyes stay healthy.
I hope you will find my ways helpful.
八、手机进校园
随着时代的发展，手机的普及率越来越高，然而，也有越来越多的人反对中学生携带手机进入校园，请你结合自己的生活和学习，谈谈你的看法, 向学校英文报刊投稿。
【范文】
My views on mobile phones
Different people have different opinions on whether it’s a good idea to use mobile phones. When it comes to me, it’s unnecessary to do so.
First of all, It does no good to our study. Since mobile phones have a lot functions, we can be easily distracted from our study.
Second, It’s harmful to our health. For example , like all the electronic products, mobile phones have radiation which may cause serious diseases.
Finally, paying for mobile phones can be expensive. Nowadays , many people like to show off themselves by taking out the latest phones. And this can be a great waste of money.
As far as I am concerned, I hold the opinion that it’s not a good idea to use mobile phones.
九、劳动教育

I usually do housework at home, like tidying rooms, washing clothes or cooking some dishes. I also take part in out-of-class activities such as planting trees or growing vegetables to enrich my real-world work experience.
In order to develop hardworking spirit, we should have hardworking spirit classes to learn some basic life skills at school every week. We should try to form good working habits and value the importance of working hard through our experience.
